President

Ida Meyeres

Department President Ida Meyeres; says it is a pleasure to serve in this position for the State of Kansas for the year 2011-2012; while we “Honor Their Service”.  After moving to Bazine, she became a member of Frank Stull American Legion Auxiliary Unit #152 in Ness City and has remained very active for 13 years. She comments that she got involved in the American Legion Auxiliary because of the programs they have available for our youth. She received her eligibility from her husband John who served in the United States Army from 1968 to 1970. John, who is currently serving as Vice Commander Area West for The American Legion, shares Ida's enthusiasm for The American Legion Family.

John & Ida share several children from their combined marriage with three of them in the Military at this time and one being deployed. Some of the sons who were not in the service now belong to the Sons of The American Legion Olin Cole Post #392 Bazine. 

Our family all expressed that upon becoming involved; they "felt like their family grew in numbers." We love working with everyone at all levels of the Legion.

Our National President Kris Nelson’s theme is “Honoring their Service”; and I have added to it for mine:

"Honor Their Service"

Our Veterans are our past freedom and our

Children are our future
